Thermally aged Sitka spruce top
If you've ever had the opportunity to play a great vintage acoustic guitar, you know how magical an experience it can be. And if you've ever had a chance to strum a vintage Gibson Hummingbird, you know that experience rises to a whole new level. Now you can get that same inspiring tone out of your brand new Gibson Acoustic Hummingbird Vintage. Gibson thermally ages the solid Sitka spruce top on the instrument down to a cellular level. This ensures that when you strum your guitar, you'll be greeted with the voice only found on truly classic vintage acoustic guitars.
Dressed up dreadnought style
The Gibson Hummingbird brought a subtle new body style and a bold new look to Gibson's dreadnought family. The Hummingbird was Gibson's first square-shoulder body shape. To emphasize the importance of the new model, Gibson outfitted the original Hummingbird with such eye-catching features as an immediately identifiable finish, double parallelogram fingerboard inlays, multi-layered binding, and a pickguard engraved with a hummingbird and blossoms. These appointments are translated perfectly on the new Gibson Acoustic Hummingbird Vintage.
Quality construction
As discriminating guitarists well know, underneath the Hummingbird's flashy ornamentation is a solid guitar. This incarnation of the Hummingbird brings you the same square shoulder design, with a treated solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides. These tonewoods come together to give the Hummingbird Vintage a sweet, warm tonality that sits well in countless musical situations. Guitarists at Sweetwater know how important playability is, and no Hummingbird goes out the door without the famed Plek-assisted setup, offering you perfect action, spot-on intonation, and great feel.
